The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Muhammad, the Messenger of God ﷺ

Muhammad, son of 'Abd Allah ﷺ, the seal of the prophets. He was born an orphan in Mecca, never knew his father, lost his mother at six, and his Lord gave him shelter. He grew up among his people, a shepherd and then a merchant, unable to read or write, and they called him al-Amin, the Trustworthy. When he reached forty, the revelation came down upon him in the cave of Hira', and he rose to call them to worship God alone.

They called him ﷺ a liar, persecuted him and boycotted his clan, and he endured thirteen years in Mecca. Then he emigrated to Medina, where God joined through him people who had long fought one another. He returned as a conqueror to the Mecca that had driven him out, and the Arabs came to him from every side. Then he died at sixty-three, his coat of mail in pledge to a Jewish man for thirty measures of barley. He left neither dirham nor dinar; he left the Qur'an.

His Companions kept from him ﷺ the detail of his days and nights, down to counting his white hairs: there were not twenty. They told how he prayed carrying his granddaughter, asked a little boy about his bird, answered with a laugh the Bedouin who had pulled his cloak until it marked his shoulder, then ordered that he be given something, and stood at night until his feet cracked. His wife Aisha was asked about his character, and she said: “The character of the Prophet of God ﷺ was the Qur'an.”
